Remarkably, I believe that this was my last rescheduled gig in the aftermath of lockdowns and shutdowns, after a few years of next-to-no gigs, followed by a 2022 that seemed […]

I’ve long felt Katatonia to belong to the lineage of underappreciated bands in metal. They are a band that have been around for a remarkably long time – they initially […]
A week off for anniversary shenanigans, and I’ve got an awful lot to catch up on. I’ll also be DJing on a livestream this week, and at a couple of […]
Another Bandcamp Friday, so tons more releases and new announcements this week. I’ve also added another swathe of events to the listing, too. Links below. This post is a roundup […]

Back from a break (mostly!) over Christmas and New Year, as is traditional I begin the year with a roundup of new music either confirmed or likely to come your […]
We reach the grand old age of 9 and celebrate at one of our favourite venues, The Dev! For part 2 of our 2 part evening celebrations we worship blackened extremities, with a little death. Headliners AKLASH are joined by MORKTAR, DENALI, LUNAR MERCIA, DYING VISION and GODKING!
A quick, later post than usual this week. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both […]
Hertfordshire’s death/doom outfit DENALI make their London debut at August’s Retribution Alive at Helgi’s in Hackney! Support comes from mysterious live debutants ATOMIC FOG and third-time Retributioners BLOODSWAMP!
Into October already? Christ this year is flashing past quickly. I’m now beginning to consider the best music of the year, with more yet to be released before the end […]
As I’ve noted previously livestreams like others are beginning to wind down. In addition, I’ve overhauled the events page in a big way, so see the link further down for […]
Lockdown might be over soon, who knows. But in the meantime, we continue with fortnightly editions of /Stormblast, and this week we were back to normal, ish.
A couple of months ago, I recorded two lengthy interviews with new artists that I wanted to talk about. Then, we got caught up in work and a house move, […]

Onto the third and final week of /Countdown/2020 on amodelofcontrol.com, and this week I’m looking at the best albums of the year. As I’m sure I’ve explained before, I treat […]
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2020, which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2020.
Back into lockdown, and this weekly release and events roundup keeps on going. There is still new music to enjoy, hence why I continue these Friday posts. The events listing […]
